My pet needs a health certificate. Is that something you offer?
Unfortunately, we do not offer pet health certificates at this time.
What is heartworm, and why does my pet need monthly prevention?
Heartworm disease is a serious and potentially fatal disease in pets in the United States and many other parts of the world. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels of affected pets, causing severe lung disease, heart failure, and damage to other organs in the body. We highly recommend Heartgard, Trifexis, and Revolution for heartworm prevention. To find out more about heartworms and heartworm prevention, click here.
What food should I feed my pet?
An important part of your pet’s healthcare is to ensure he/she is eating the best diet you can afford. Excellent healthcare starts with an excellent diet, and pet parents have a number of choices.
Many pet parents are interested in home cooking for their pets. Chi Dog and Just Food for Dogs do the cooking for you and provide complete frozen meals balanced by Veterinary Nutritionists to be used as your pets sole diet or as a topper to their kibble.
BalanceIt.com helps pet parents develop balanced recipes they can cook at home and provide the appropriate vitamin and mineral supplements to make sure the homecooked diet meets all your pets nutritional needs.
